Blood Whimsy
12-25-2014, 11:10 PM
Sensing her intention, Cascade suddenly reared up on her hind legs. This move largely thwarted Warja's grand plan. Sure, she still tasted blood and the ache in her shoulder (that promised light bruising later) meant her slam had been somewhat successful. Still, if she had the time for it, Warja would have been disappointed. Massive paws wrapped around the base of her neck and Warja felt herself get squished into the bigger fae's bosom. Their positioning meant that there was little Warja could do to avoid the teeth that sought to grip the back of her neck. Cascade's teeth sunk into the young medic's scruff just below her skull. Since her intention had simply been to squeeze the resulting puncture wounds were modest at best. In retaliation Warja attempted to maintain her bite on Cascade's foreleg (a move that's purpose would becoming clear in a matter of heartbeats) and hopefully worsen the wound by tightening her grip . Digging her nails into the ground, Warja shoved forward in an attempt to not only ram the right side of her chest and shoulder into the center left of Cascade's chest, but, once her hind legs were gathered beneath her, to push upwards and rise up on her hind legs in the hopes of compromising Cas' balance. The weight would be great, but with a straightened back, tensed muscles and adrenaline on her side, Warja was confident she could do it. A bonus of her forward movement was that if she managed to keep her hold on her opponent's foreleg the limb would be pushed further to Warja's left - a movement that Cascade's shoulder was not made to make. If all went according to plan, the shove upwards and forwards combined with her bite would force Cascade to fall to her right or risk dislocation in her right shoulder. Going ridged as she attempted to stand up on her hind legs, Warja straightened her spine and raised her tail in the hopes of bettering her chance of success. The purpose of her lifted tail was to better her balance; the straightened spine and tensed muscles to further her attack. Her ears stayed flat against her skull and her eyes stayed narrowed. Stiffened hackles guarded her spine; shoulders rolling forward in the hopes of keeping her scruff loose and useless between Cascade's teeth. Warja's toes splayed, hind claws digging into the ground as her weight centered and distributed evenly to accommodate her evolving position. Her stance was wide, supporting locked knees whose purpose was to keep her aloft and aid her in her assault against her opponent. Determination graced her features - something that did little to further her physical defense but did wonders for her psyche; victory was within reach. Round TWO of TWO Speaking --Thinking |
